Good post but don't agree with Ballard assessment.Ballard came in coming off hip surgery and was pressed into action too soon. Four games in to his contract in Vancouver he suffered a concussion.He struggled after that. Then he suffered an MCL knee injury that was rumoured to require surgery before the cup run. Back injury in November the following year followed by another,second concussion. In his last season he suffered a broken foot. We all remember a healthy Keith,coming to the aid of his team mates game after game,tough in the corners and in front of the net,good with the puck and a hip check any d man would like to have. Unfortunately,Gillis took another injured player,paid maximum in salary and youth and never got a decent return from the trade.
